STRANGE CALL

From a long distance

Someone calls me at midnight

The familiar voice swims on wind

Goes through the church tower

Hides into cherry trees

Echoes flow on the silence

Unknown singer recites guitar near

The cemetery gate, souls are

Hypnotized, they sit leisurely

Listen calmly as a delicate scent

Influences the heart slowly

Far away may be passing

The speedy train

Whistles break the darkness

Moon says good-bye

Wild weeds relax for a moment

The terrain trembling goes

Down, left over some moonlight

Doesn’t want to leave the

Wetland, lotus have not bloom

Completely, I keep your

Photograph on the chest, trying

To sleep, I read your

E-mails frequently entire night

Search the address in your

Profile, but didn’t get any clue

The stranger call I think

Returned back to horizon line

An exhausted dream desires to sleep

On the lap of beautiful dawn

In backyard birds are twittering

I don’t know, why they wake

Up so earlier,
